Ray Keating was a New York Highlanders pitcher, and this glass negative shows him in the uniform of the American League club that would later become the Yankees. The Bain News Service, a Manhattan agency that sold news photographs to newspapers and magazines, made the picture around 1913, when the team was still playing at Hilltop Park in Upper Manhattan. Keating pitched for the Highlanders in the early 1910s, and portraits like this one give a sense of how ballplayers were presented to the public in the years before team photography became routine.
